Of note are small areas with surface imperfections on some of the larger parts that will have to be addressed if the goal is a convincing natural metal finish. Surface details (inscribed and in relief) are scale appropriate. The injected parts have a high level of detail but there’s flash to be dealt with and some of the smaller parts may need refreshing with sanding sticks and files. Fish and Wildlife Service in Alaska for various duties. Army for testing then were transferred to the U.
Boeing decided against marketing the L-15 as a general aviation aircraft, and the twelve that were produced went to the U.S. The L-15 was an attempt by Boeing to expand its product line as World War II drew to a close, and Boeing's production of combat aircraft declined. It was a short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft powered by a 125hp Lycoming engine. The Boeing L-15 Scout or YL-15 was a small, piston engine liaison aircraft built by Boeing in very small numbers after WWII. However, someone with patience and a little experience that’s able to get everything out of what’s provided in the box will be rewarded with a real head-turner not often (ever?) seen at the model show. Given the use of multiple media, especially photo-etch, this is not a kit I’d recommend to a beginner. The details are abundant and the assembly sequence seems quite reasonable albeit out of the ordinary. Some assembly steps score high on the “Fiddly Scale” so this is a kit best enjoyed by someone with previous experience with multi-media kits. There’s some flash to be dealt with and small surface imperfections will require extra attention to pull off a convincing natural metal finish. A 3D-printed instrument panel, large PE fret (with seat harnesses), die-cut masks, and an exceptionally crisp decal sheet with markings for two Scouts completes what is a very comprehensive model from AMP. The high level of detail provided in the cockpit combined with the ample canopy will likely make the pilot’s office the focal point of the build.
Surface details (inscribed and in relief) are well done. This kit scores very high on the novelty scale for sure. 55 parts in grey styrene, 9 in clear, 2 3D-printed, ~32 in Photo-Etch, die-cut masks, and one decal sheet with markings for 2 airframes.
